Karla & Chris: A Gorgeous Day in May at Houchins

Chris and Karla chose the Sunday of the lask bank holiday in May to get married at Houchins venue near Colchester.
With those blue skies they really lucked out with that decision, and of course the one to marry each other.
There was no hiding how happy they were that day.

The speeches were quite the event, the many groomsmen were tasked with hosting a game of Mr & Mrs, they even won prizes.

The day ran perfectly, thanks to the efforts of Wayne, Jayson and Eloise at Houchins and all the other wonderful suppliers involved on the day.
